CANTON, TEXAS
Canton is a charming town that sits an hour east of Dallas on I-20. Its vibrant downtown is the heart of the city, which is home to some of the best shopping and dining opportunities in all of East Texas. As a National Main Street City, Canton is proud of its rich heritage, and active volunteers work tirelessly to preserve it.
Canton is world-renowned for its First Monday Trade Days. Once a month, Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of every month, Canton turns into a shopper's paradise. Between 200,000 and 400,000 tourists, visitors, and vendors roll into town and get together to create a shopping experience as big as Texas. With over 450 acres of shopping, 4 miles of covered shopping, and great festival food, there is sure to be something for everyone - rain or shine. It has been said that if you can't find it in Canton, they just don't make it. Come shop until you drop!
Canton has a lot to offer besides First Monday as well, with year-round events including two Western Swings, the Tailwind Regional Balloon Fest, The Autumn Stroll Festival, and one-of-a-kind July 4th and Christmas activities. There are also great attractions in and around Canton including, Splash Kingdom Waterpark, YesterLand Farm, Mill Creek Ranch Resort, the East Texas Gator Farm, and more. With great lakes and trails, two world class golf courses, disc golf and outstanding fishing, Canton has plenty to offer the active lifestyle. We are the Walking Capital of Texas after all.
